Mine – The Alpha’s Possession By Kylie CHAPTER 36
‘What the hell?’ I asked as Ava stood up straight staring at the dragon that was looking down on me.
‘This can’t be real. Dragon’s don’t exist.’ Ava says.
‘Obviously they do.’ I say. The dragon just stood there staring at us like it was just as confused but it didn’t look threatening. Like it was trying to figure us out as well.
‘Don’t shift.’ Ava says.
‘I wasn’t going to. Why didn’t anyone tell us about dragons being here. I think that is something pretty important that they should have told me about.’ I say.
‘Yeah. I know.’ She says. We notice the very large dragon start climbing down the trees and stepping onto the ground right in front of us.
“Please forgive my friend here.” Someone said behind the dragon. Which really piqued my interest. Ava’s ears spiked up and she tried to look around the dragon at the person who was talking to us.
Layla then stepped out from behind the dragon and she walked along beside it and stopped to pat it on it’s head. She then walked over to me and handed me my clothes that I left at the forest. So I shifted back and I got dressed.
“He’s your friend?” I asked.
“Yeah. They all are.” She says. And I looked around above me to see all different types of creatures flying around and jumping from tree to tree.
“Wow. Why didn’t you tell me about them?” I asked.
“Because no one knows that I come here. No one knows that I have a relationship with the animals.” She says.
“Is this why Vincent doesn’t want me leaving the castle without telling him? Because he didn’t want me to see these creatures?” I asked.
“I don’t know what Vincent’s motives are. But the dragons won’t hurt you. You’re one of them. You’re not human. That’s why he didn’t attack you. He could see that you were a wolf but not a normal wolf.” She says.
“Well, I’m glad that he could see that.” I said.
“They also can sense that you’re in danger here. Just like them.” She says.
“Why would I be in danger here? My father is the King.” I say confused. “It’s Eric that’s the problem. He’s the one that is conspiring behind my father’s back.” I explained.
“Where did you hear that?” She asked.
“I overheard him and Stefan talking the other night.” I say.
“Well, I’m not surprised. I haven’t trusted
Eric since your father put him second in command.” She says.
“Layla. I asked Stefan to help me try to tap into my fae powers. But I have a feeling that he’s going to stall for as long as he possibly can. Do you think you can help me?” I asked.
“I think that I would be honoured. You need to learn how to protect yourself around here. She says.
“Why do I get the feeling that you’re hiding something from me?” I asked.
“I’m not really hiding anything. There’s just more to the fae world then anyone will tell you.” She says.
“Why? This dragon doesn’t seem so bad.” I say slowly reaching my hand out and leaving it there in front of the dragon. It looked at me weird and then pushed it’s head forward and into my hand so that I could pat.
“Wow. I can’t believe he has taken to you like that. He usually scares everyone off.” She says.
“He’s sweet.” I say patting him.
“Well, I am definitely going to teach you your powers. But you can’t let anyone know that I am helping you. And you can’t use your powers in front of anyone else unless absolutely necessary.” She says.
“Alright. I can do that. But I want my powers. In case I do need to use them.” I say.
“Absolutely. We’ll start tomorrow.” She says.
When I got back to the castle I was heading back to my bedroom but Vincent called me from his office so I went to the door.
“Hi.” I say.
“Hi. You’ve been gone for a while. Stefan told me that you wanted to go for a run.” Vincent says.
“Yeah. My wolf was itching to get out and the woods around here are way too tempting for her. Their beautiful.” I say as I walk further into his office.
“They sure are beautiful. How did your run go? Did you see anyone or meet anyone out there?” He asked.
“I didn’t see anyone. I wouldn’t be able to meet anyone because I can’t mind link with anyone here.” I say.
“Oh. That’s right. I completely forgot about that.” He says shaking his head.
“I think I need to give you a refresher lesson on werewolves.” I laughed.
“You know what, I think you might have to. It’s been a while since I’ve been around any. ” He says.
“We can talk about that later. I need to go and have a shower. I love going for runs but it’s obviously a messy business.” I say looking down at myself that had dirt on my body.
“Yeah. I can see that.” He says. So I turned to leave his office and I went to my room and I went to my bathroom to have a shower. I came out and walked into the wardrobe
and I got dressed into a different dress and I looked in my bedside table at my phone but there were no missed calls. Which means the signal has obviously dropped out again. I know that Jackson would have tried to call me again.
I don’t even know why I was bothering with my phone. I chose to leave him because he couldn’t fully accept him. Here, I was being fully accepted. I was the Princess. These people had no choice but to accept me.
I sat at my desk and I started thinking about my mother. I know that I was pissed at her because of the lies that she had told me but I didn’t even tell her that I was going. I didn’t say goodbye to her. I barely spoke to her before I was gone.
I had no doubt that she knew where I was.
But she knew that she couldn’t come here.
The only way was to find a faerie and have that faerie bring them here otherwise I would have to go to them. And I didn’t know how to open portals or anything yet.
I also had a feeling that Vincent didn’t want me to know how to open portals and go from world to world. I know that Eric is the one that I should be keeping an eye on, but now I’m starting to wonder about Vincent. Especially after what Jackson told me. I couldn’t that out of my head. I didn’t know if he was lying to get my home, he did sound desperate. But I’m sure that he knew something more than he was able to tell me. I didn’t know anything about this world. Not really. Except that it now has dragons and other mystical creatures living in it.
When I got to dinner that night I sat at my usual chair and Eric and Stefan joined us again for dinner. But this time it was Vincent and Eric doing most of the talking. I wasn’t really saying too much. But Stefan kept trying to make conversation with me.
“Did you want to go for another walk again, after dinner?” Stefan asked.
“I would love to. But I’m really exhausted tonight. Shifting and going for a run really takes it toll on a werewolf.” I explained.
“Oh. Of course. I guess, I wouldn’t mind seeing your wolf one day.” He says.
“That would be nice. I’m sure Ava would love to meet you.” I say. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Ava?”Ava says looking at me curiously.
“That’s my werewolf. A human has a different identity to their wolves. Mine is named Ava. She’s black and white. White paws and a white diamond on her forehead.” I explained.
“Wow. She sounds like a breautiful creature. “Vincent says.
“I think she is. It’s funny though. All werewolves are meant to be unique. Not one werewolf is meant to look alike.” I say.
“And why is that funny?” Vincent asked.
“Because Alpha Jackson and I have identical looking werewolves. I have no idea how that is even possible. And for us to be fated mates. That just makes me wonder what the Moon Goddess is trying to tell us.” I say.
After dinner I went off to my room and I got changed for bed but then I snuck back downstairs to where Vincent’s office was and the door was slightly open. And just like had hoped, he was in there with Eric.
“You never told me that she had a werewolf mate. He’s going to be looking for her everywhere.” Eric says.
“Relax. Layla was watching them for weeks. He was going to reject her. He didn’t want her as a mate. He’s probably happy that she’s gone.” Vincent says waving the whole situation off.
“And what if he changes his mind. He hasn’t rejected her yet. Which means that there is still that bond there.” Eric says.
“But they haven’t marked each other. Which means he will never find her. He won’t know where to look. We’re safe here. We aren’t going to have a wolf pack coming after us.” Vincent says.
“How the hell do you know that?” Eric asked.
“Because I do. If her and her mate were so happy and in love then she wouldn’t have chosen to come here. And she did that in front of him. So, would you relax.” Vincent says.
“We can’t let an Alpha start tearing down this world that we created.” Eric says.
“I know. And they won’t. Trust me.” Vincent says. But Jackson said that Vincent didn’t create this realm.
The more information I got, the more confused I got. Nothing was making sense to me anymore. None of it.
